What bothers me with the car is the mechanical boost gauge by Greddy, I'll have it changed for a VDO to match the oem gauges.

Cool. The VDO gauge will look much better IMO.

I would recommend you to take it to a car upholsterer and have the leather replaced. You can also buy ready made oem quality replacement leather covers and have the uplhosterer install them.

I was told to do the same for my E36 M3 project. Applying a dye technique to the seats would supposedly be the best option for retaining my original "vader" seats. I didn't think about how they would cope with our weather though. Good lookin' out.
